badposting is a comm where you post badly


This is not a !the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net alternative. This is not a !memes@hexbear.net alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.

Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?


Rules:

  1. Do not post good posts.
    • Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
    • Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
  2. This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
  3. This rule intentionally left blank.
  4. If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.

Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo

You posted in bad posting but I've avoided that show on purpose based on previews I've seen. I feel like every piece of media having to do with food, real like cooking shows or animated, is a carnist fantasy where the characters in the latter go out of their way to eat 'exotic' animals without any social consequences because they're 'monsters' instead of endangered. Yeah, maybe they're wild and dangerous animals, but you're invading their homes to kill them. There's enough of people doing that IRL that I don't need to see an idealized anime version of it and listen to people jerk off over which monsters would taste the best.

Yeah it seems kinda silly but this is actually something that bothers me about the show. Like, you’re building this elaborate ecosystem and coming up with all these creative details about monster biology… just to eat them? So far most of it really is just a cooking show but fictional animals, plus it’s loaded with reenactments of the carnist/hunter “stewards of the land” mythology about how they’re just living off the land and exploring the rugged “frontier” and taking only what they need etc. idk maybe I’m being too harsh on it and I’ve only seen a little bit but so far it’s kinda disappointing

I mean it's not the strangest thing ever; world of warcraft predates dungeon meshi and most of the creatures in that game drop meat you can cook and eat as well. Dungeon meshi on the other hand is absolutely a cooking focused show; I almost didn't continue because I have zero interest in shows about cooking; it's literally everything other than the food that I watch it for. The thing I found bizarre though was their willingness to eat creatures that seemed to actually have their own cultures and languages (as Laios first entertains the idea of eating demihumans like goblins for example; this does just basically sound like cannibalism. Is the only reason he wouldn't eat elves be because some of them cooperate with humans?).

So does it get better? I just finished the episode with the golems and the story is kind of intriguing, the cooking parts get old fast

There's still lots of cooking (sadly), but it does indeed get better; you're gonna get more lore on the dungeon too and its history, and you're gonna get some character history too; also some genuinely funny episodes (and I really don't want to spoil these in the slightest). Cooking nonsense aside, the setting and story are actually very fascinating.
